Button flowers


I don't know where I saw these little button flowers but I was determined to make some....

I didn't have a pattern so I just made it up.....

You need

Buttons with four holes .
Cotton.
Crochet hook I used a 1.25 hook


I started by threading the cotton through and knotting it to the button....

Then I used my needle and drew through the thread in the first hole and made a double crotchet....

Then made two chain....if the button is bigger I make three chain....

Repeat this till the end and join with a slip stitch....

You should have five double crochet stitches...


Now do one chain....
In the next space do one double crochet then four treble ,one double crochet then  this is your petal
repeat this four more times....


petal 1..

petal 2...


opps I forgot petal 3...
petal 4....


Now you have one cute little button flower....

Depending on size sometimes I do five or six treble for each petal its up to you...


I have now made a heap of those unsure what I will use them for maybe on a scrap page who knows I just know I like them...
